Ext3fs[1] will be my diplom thesis and I announced[2] that it would be
ready in octomber. Unfortunately reality forced me to work heavily on
other M$ things.

In short, the status is "not started".

What is started is making OSKit-Mach work with my CMD649 ATA-100
controller, because this is the case in my home computer (my 80G hard
disk wants at least ATA-66). Work on this will continue on 1st
octomber, when I'll continue my experiments (till now I mostly read some
books, one of which the very good "Linux Device Drivers 2e"[3].)
